We heard from one such organization looking to drive and positively impact wellbeing and mental health best practices in the NBA. Topics included how to create and implement wellbeing programs and processes, and the relationship between wellbeing and performance improvement.<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you understand the baggage that an athlete may be carrying around, and put a structure around them to support them, will give them an opportunity to increase their performance level. Tapping in on untapped genius.<\/li>\n<li>If you write the word LISTEN, you\u2019d all have a different definition. However, in those six letters is the answer on how to do it well \u2013 rearrange the letters and you have SILENT.<\/li>\n<li>You have to have a functional interdisciplinary approach to wellbeing and mental health.<\/li>\n<li>Intervention and prevention is very important \u2013 so make sure there is a support system, especially when there are high risk periods.<\/li>\n<li>Educating staff on wellbeing is important to creating an effective approach for the athlete. Everyone needs to be on the same page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Thinking Points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Having a functional interdisciplinary approach to wellbeing and mental health is paramount. This requires a genuine commitment and alignment from practitioners within the organisation to make these processes impactful.<\/li>\n<li>Prevention or intervention is key. Make support available, especially during high risk periods.<\/li>\n<li>Do you consider wellbeing and mental health through player inductions? Do they know where they should go for help? Perhaps, more importantly, have you identified those through testing who may need more resource surrounding these areas?<\/li>\n<li>How are you educating your staff on wellbeing and mental health processes? To create an effective inter-disciplinary approach for the athlete, everyone needs to understand how to assess but also the correct language to use amongst each other.<\/li>\n<li>The process of monitoring and measuring needs to be customised &#8211; your sports and marketplaces require unique skillsets to be able to perform.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fourth Summit Session of the inaugural Leaders Sport Performance Summit at UFC&#8217;s Performance Institute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2562,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2561","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Summit Session: Exploring the Relationship Between Wellbeing &amp;
